UI Wireframe

  • 1. Titles - Upper Case > Title Case

  • 2. Images - Square > Vertical

UI Interface

Redesign Changes Reasoning | AI Research 

1.Title Case vs. Uppercase

  • Title Case: Is generally considered better than all uppercase for UI titles and headings.

  • Readability: Uppercase text is harder to read because it lacks the varied word shapes (ascenders and descenders) that the human eye uses to scan text quickly. Title Case retains these shapes, making it more legible.

  • Tone: All Caps (Uppercase) can feel aggressive or like shouting, while Title Case provides a professional, stable, and "established" tone.

  • Use Cases: Uppercase should be used sparingly for small labels (e.g., buttons, tags, or state indicators) to create visual prominence, not for titles or sentences.

2.Why Vertical/Portrait Images Are Often Preferred (Mobile-First)

  • Vertical: Often being better for engagement on mobile.

  • Higher Engagement: Vertical images (specifically 4:5) take up more screen space in mobile feeds, reducing distractions and increasing visibility.

  • Increased Likes/Reach: Studies indicate that 4:5 vertical images can receive higher engagement compared to square images, which appear smaller.

  • Natural Viewpoint: Because smartphones are held vertically, portrait images feel more native and immersive to the user.
